Keeping up with Technology in the Entertainment Field
Technology changes constantly and so do trends in fashion and
entertainment. What's in one day may be
on it's way out the next day. So how do
artists, managers and industry executives stay afloat? They keep ahead of the trends and constantly
receive ongoing education and certifications.
The more you know the technology the better your end product will
be. There are numerous ways artists and
managers can groom themselves to stay on top of trends and changes.
We
will start out with reaching out to your network and your PLN. This is one of our greatest assets and we need
to be able to utilize our network and the people we know effectively. Secondly stay up to date with industry trends
via the internet and social media websites.
Stay active with industry related blogs and RSS feeds where there is a
wealth of information from a variety of different valuable resources. Stay organized and budget your time
effectively. Ample time needs to be
given if your goals are going to be met.
Keeping up with new gadgets and gizmo's are a plus when staying trendy
in the technology world and the entertainment industry. Using a floppy drive and a PC with no graphics card and a small amount of memory will be detrimental to your career. Music and video will be nearly impossible to make if you have out dated equipment. There are plenty of resources that an artist for example can use to increase their skills. Youtube provides lots of tutorials for learning just about anything. Many other people are also using the same software and applications and can provide a wealth of information for research.
